Veliký Hledání 2

Veliký Hledání 2 (English: The Great Search 2), is the Lussantian national selection show for the 24th edition of the Maia Song

Contest.

Format
Rumours of a Lussantian national final for the twenty-fourth edition have appeared in national MSC fan blogs in early December 2018. The Veliký Hledání format, used once to select the Lussantian entrant in Samavia (#13), was likely to return for the occasion. Those claims were supported by the fact that the federal Lussantian broadcaster had reserved the Colussa Alpinium in Espinal-sur-Volne, and former Lussantian entrants such as HollySiz and Ellinoora had been contacted in order to participate in the project (but not necessarily compete in it).

On 16 December 2018, the national broadcaster has made the return of Veliký Hledání official, to select the Lussantian entry to the twenty-fourth edition of the Maia Song Contest. 12 songs have been shortlisted for the national final, with the format including a "Final Showdown" between the top 2 songs from the international jury and televote and a wildcard selected by a national jury, where only international juries will be allowed to vote. Some artists are already rumoured to take part, but the broadcaster only told that the artists "both known and unknown" were all motivated. Two former Maia acts will be part of the line-up.

Guest acts
Two people were announced as guest acts during the final : Kleo and Angèle.

International jurors
12 jurors from countries all over Maia will get power over 50% of the votes in the Main Round. They will moreover have all power of decision in the Final Showdown.

National jurors
In addition to the international jury, 5 national jurors will be charged with selecting a wildcard to the Final Showdown. Those are music experts, journalists, national Maia Song Contest executives, or singers.
